Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz fresh or dried wheat noodles
  • 3 tbsp neutral oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 tbsp chili flakes
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
  • 1 tsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp black vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp Sichuan peppercorn powder (optional)
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil

Method
 

  1. Boil the noodles according to package directions until just tender, drain, and rinse briefly under cold water. Set aside in a large bowl.
  2. In a small saucepan, heat the oil, garlic, and chili flakes over medium-low heat for about 2 minutes, swirling occasionally, until garlic is pale gold and fragrant. Remove from heat and immediately stir in the soy sauces, sugar, vinegar, and optional Sichuan peppercorn powder.
  3. Pour the warm sauce over the noodles, toss thoroughly with tongs to coat, and top with green onions and sesame oil. Serve right away.

Notes

This recipe doubles easily for a crowd. Rinsing the noodles briefly stops the cooking and washes off surface starch, so they stay separate when you toss them with the sauce. Adjust the chili flakes up or down to suit your heat preference.
